If it was sprained then it would swell up. Swelling is nature's way of protecting the injured area. If that's not going on you need to see a foot Dr. You may have a hair line fracture. In any event, the more you use the ankle the more it will hurt and not heal.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

You might of bruised your bone. Cause if it was a sprain, it would swell up and have a purplish tint. You should take a break from soccer and let it heal. If you keep hurting it, it'll never get better. Feel Better!

if it was sprained it wud be swelled up and it wud probably be almost impossible to walk on and u wud need crutches...i think u just have a sore spot where u have been kicked repeatedly but i think if u rest it for a while and elevate it a couple of days...it shud get better...or if ur not sure get it checked out by a doctor
